goqu··on Ask HN: Is starting eBook store today an insane idea?
Love the feedback about curated book store with staff recommendations. Authors interviews is something that I already have on my list so you just ensured me of heading into the right direction. Appreciate the comment.

I think my main motivation is that I can anticipate and bring extra value to the customers. I do a lot of videos and social media content to promote the books, I feel like building community around it will give everyone new experience.

Good point. I talk to many authors who have no fears publishing their books without DRM. They realize how little damage can realistically be made by an individual who has no presence online and way to distribute the book and the ones that do have can quickly be caught.
goqu··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
There is one book that finally made me to do some work and it's called "The Midas Method". Some of it describes a set of rules (methods) we should live by to make the luck leaning towards us.

Simple things as "Watch your language! Never say “I can’t do that”" or "Never blame anything or anybody else for your misfortune" And my favorite is "Grab every opportunity which is going" You'll keep yourself busy and open for the world.

It's a little dated but the stupid thing is the basic principles if you can be bothered to understand them really do work.
